Philip J. Fry, usually referred to as "Fry," is a fictional character, the main protagonist of the animated science fiction sitcom Futurama. He is voiced by Billy West.

Born in 1974, Fry is an average, thoroughly unremarkable, 25-year-old pizza delivery boy who, during the last few seconds of year 1999, accidentally falls into a cryogenic freezing tank while delivering pizza on a prank call. He subsequently remains frozen for 1,000 years, finally thawing out on the last day of the year 2999, where he meets the one-eyed career officer Turanga Leela, and a cigar smoking, booze fueled, kleptomaniac robot Bender. Together, they are employed by Fry's great (x30) nephew, the senile and demented old scientist Prof.

Hubert J. Farnsworth, as the spaceship crew of his delivery company. In his old life Fry had a girlfriend Michelle who dumped him, and an older brother Yancy, in the first episode, "Space Pilot 3000", just before he was frozen.

Fry was born in New York City on August 9 1974, and was named for the Phillips head screwdriver. He had an elder brother named Yancy, with whom he had a lifelong conflict, due to Fry's perception that Yancy took everything of his. In high school, he claims to have suffered three heart attacks from drinking 100 cans of cola each week.

After dropping out of Coney Island Community College, he took a three year break and watched television continuously, knowing someday it would help him to save the world (and because he would lose his worker's compensation if he went outside). He then got a job as a delivery boy at Panucci's Pizza. Characterized as simple, sweet, naive and immature, Fry regards Bender as his closest friend, despite the latter's often violent criminal tendencies.

He also has strong feelings for Leela, although he lacks the intelligence required for articulating his emotions; thus, his love remains (sometimes coldly) unrequited, though not entirely without hope. She does occasionally return his interest throughout the series, and in the movie 'Into the Wild Green Yonder', she admits to loving him back. At the end of that film, they are seen sharing a kiss as they enter a wormhole.
